Arabic Baby Names
Arabs have traditionally been esteemed as the bearers of beautiful music and culture visible to the eye. Derived from centuries of tradition, they have connotations of beauty, strength, and historical associations. Because of their beautiful sound and the fact that they are classic names, Arabic names are used around the world and are finding their way into other cultures as these people migrate from place to place.
As Islam spread, so did Arabic names to non-Arabic-speaking peoples and languages. They blend the traditional and the contemporary, feeling both classical and modern. Due to their poetic rhythm and significance, they are favorites among the lovers of names with culture and soul.
By choosing an Arabic name, a family gets to have the best of both worlds: a sense of heritage and identity with a name that is both elegant and timeless. Whether simple or elaborate, they are still Arabic names that signify beauty, honor, and culture to the new generation.
